bkmk for later
Great mpvie. Widmark as “Tommy Udo’’ the killer with the smirking laugh and a head full of snakes.
One of the most memorable scenes from the movie is when Tommy Udo pushed the wheel chair bound lady down the flight of steps. I remember watching the movie as a little boy and that scene stuck in my mind.
Widmark’s first role.
There’s a better copy on StageVu for those who are familiar with that site.
That portrayal made Widmarks career. The scene where he rolls the old lady down a flight of stairs became a classic.
